The Myth of the Nazis and the ‘Right Wing’

I’ve been meaning to get to this all weekend, ever since I noticed the link at Instapundit the other night. Whenever someone shatters the myth that Hitler and the Nazis had anything in common with American conservatives it’s worth taking note, and sharing. Hitler had more in common with FDR and the Soviets than any conservative I can think of. In fact, his vision for Germany wasn’t so much different than President Obama’s vision for the US. Bill Flax took the time to lay it all out, here’s a taste of it.

On many issues the Nazis align quite agreeably with liberals. The Nazis enforced strict gun control, which made their agenda possible and highlights the necessity of an armed populace.

The Nazis separated church and state to marginalize religion’s influence. Hitler despised biblical morality and bourgeois (middle class) values. Crosses were ripped from the public square in favor of swastikas. Prayer in school was abolished and worship confined to churches. Church youth groups were forcibly absorbed into the Hitler Youth.

Hitler extolled public education, even banning private schools and instituting “a fundamental reconstruction of our whole national education program” controlled by Berlin. Similar to liberals’ cradle to career ideal, the Nazis established state administered early childhood development programs; “The comprehension of the concept of the State must be striven for by the school as early as the beginning of understanding.”

Foreshadowing Michelle Obama, “The State is to care for elevating national health.” Nanny State intrusions reflect that persons are not sovereign, but belong to the state. Hitler even sought to outlaw meat after the war; blaming Germany’s health problems on the capitalist (i.e. Jewish) food industry. The Nazis idealized public service and smothered private charity with public programs.

Hitler’s election platform included “an expansion on a large scale of old age welfare.” Nazi propaganda proclaimed, “No one shall go hungry! No one shall be cold!” Germany had universal healthcare and demanded that “the state be charged first with providing the opportunity for a livelihood.” Obama would relish such a “jobs” program. …

Be sure to read the whole thing, it’s a little long but full of interesting facts. You just might learn something.

What was it Stalin said about repeating a lie often enough that it becomes the truth? Or was it Hitler? Who knows, they’re all cut from the same cloth. And their fellow travelers have been setting the narrative here in the western world for far too long. The only way to combat it is to continue repeating the truth.

Great post. Jonah Goldberg addresses this in his book “Liberal Fascism”. Nazi = National Socialist Workers. Hitler read and was heavily influenced by Marx, however Hitler did not want “the workers of the world” to unite… he only wanted German workers to unite . Socialism is the antithesis of right wing. Hitler and his actions were the antithesis of American conservatives and American conservatism.

That was a great book. I read it a few years ago and referred to it a few times. I’m just too tired to search the archives of the blog. Hitler, Stalin, FDR, Mussolini – they were all fellow travelers. They had mutual admiration until the war broke out.

There is a distinction and its time the liberals in America take back their party and take back America from these evil communist progressives that have infiltrated their party and are hiding behind cloaks of liberalism.

There is a difference and the years we have been railing against liberalism it really is progressivism that we have been railing against. Most conservatives were classical liberals 30 years ago.

This is an excellent point to make. I can’t recommend highly enough Anthony Sutton’s book on the Nazis, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler. It follows the money trail on who specifically gave Hitler and the Nazi party the money and capital to become the prevailing power in Germany. It’s the same EXACT people who gave money to the Bolsheviks to become the prevailing power in Russia (Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution) and wait there’s more.. these are also the SAME people who gave money to make sure FDR could put in as many planks of the Communist manifesto as humanly possible during the created crisis of the Great Depression (Wall Street and FDR).

To quote Dr. Sutton, who was run out on a rail when he tried to bring this up to republicans in the ’70s, as they didn’t want to know about it:

“Monopoly capitalists are the bitter enemies of laissez-faire entrepreneurs; and, given the weaknesses of socialist central planning, the totalitarian socialist state is a perfect captive market for monopoly capitalists, if an alliance can be made with the socialist powerbrokers.”
1930s Germany and Soviet Russia were captive markets for these monopolists.

During the 1930’s The official Nazi newspaper, the Deutscher Beobachter Praised Roosevelt’s NRA and other socialistic programs. Roosevelt was fine with them until his love for real Communism drew him to the alliance with the Soviet Union, eventually leading of the enslavement of all of Eastern Europe. Shame on the USA. This seemsto be the only thing we ever did that Obama doesn’t criticize.

I recently had a conversation with a young man who graduated high school this summer about this very subject and I was pleasantly surprised that he knew the Nazi Party members were socialists / Marxists. There is some hope…I said “some”.
